William III de Lanvallei, Lord of Walkern, Surety of the Magna Carta

Previous information stated that William de Lanvaley married Maud Pecche; that information comes from web trees, with the source unclear. According to the "The Magna Carta Sureties, 1215," from the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., he married one of the daughters (first name unknown) of Alan Bassett, who is named in the Magna Carta.
